Reproductive rights groups revive abortion aid in Alabama after court victory

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Reproductive rights groups have resumed helping Alabamians seeking out-of-state abortions after a ruling earlier this year from a federal judge.

U.S. District Judge Myron H. Thompson in April ruled that Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s threats to prosecute those who provide out-of-state abortion assistance violated both the First Amendment and the right to travel. The decision has not been appealed. Marshall’s office did not return a request for comment.”

Overturning Roe was never about ‘letting the states decide.’

A woman has the right to travel to a free state to exercise her right to privacy and reproductive autonomy.

What is so Reproductive about their mission?? Everyone they are assisting is seeking Termination not Reproduction. Their name should reflect that.

Clayton, your enthusiasm for abortion makes you evil.

Why should a female having an abortion out of the state be any kind of issue? State citizens are free to travel from state to state.

I feel that this issue has less to do with abortion, and more to do with (like the poster above me said), state-to-state travel and people going out of their state for certain things. Regardless of whether you think abortion should be illegal or not, if someone wants to go from state A to state B, whether to get an abortion or for something else, how is that any of the state A's business? And why can the attorney general of one state prosecute someone who resides in another state? Ok, I am not too sure about the last one, but my general point is that it's kind of strange that the official of one state would threaten to do stuff to the people of another state. The latter does not fall within the jurisdiction of the former.
